Inserting the rubber-metal bearing
  Note
t  Never use grease!
t  Use assembly sliding oil -G 294 421 A1- to insert.
t  This leaves a slightly sticky film, which ensures a tight fit of the bearing.
t  Commercially available greases/oils are usually acidic and leave behind a grease film.
t  This could result in a corrosion of the bearing or during compression and rebound of the vehicle the whole rubber-metal bearing may turn in the track control arm and not the actual rubber in itself.

Fitting position of the rubber-metal bearing in the console
t  The stud -1- of the rubber-metal bearing must be flush with marking -2- on the console.

t  At the console on the right the marking points towards the body.
–  Transpose the position of the stud -1- on the long side of the rubber-metal bearing, in order to ensure the correct fitting position when inserting.
For this use e.g. a felt-tip pen.
